I don't pretend to know what is best for all users, but as a fairly ordinary mutt user I can tell you that I would be unhappy to find out that Debian patched mutt to do SMTP just so they could have a warm fuzzy feeling about the depends. I like mutt the way it is: no SMTP.
New mutt users might be slightly confused by the mutt way of doing things but that doesn't mean we have to patch mutt for their sakes. Naturally, it's up to the package maintainer how to differ from upstream, but this mutt user would be miffed. -- Hans Fugal | De gustibus non disputandum est. http://hans.fugal.net/ | Debian, vim, mutt, ruby, text, gpg http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | WindowMaker, gaim, UTF-8, RISC, JS Bach --------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 6940 87C5 6610 567F 1E95 CB5E FC98 E8CD E0AA D460
